Message: [QUOTE="'nuff sed, post: 3075808, member: 9579"] CRYING ? THERE"S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL ! Suing ? There's no suing in baseball Works for no one in any sport --- proving intent is extremely difficult How do you prove a beanball vs a bad pitch --- you can't How do you prove intent to injure vs somebody just out of control - you can't It would set up a system where any and every hit batsman could sue. Even Sabean was wrong to push the Posey Rule. Everyone in the game accepts the risks and knows the rules. Surrender anything to a court system and you have zero consistency of outcome -- end result is worse for any game. Every city will have a different outcome depending if the incident happened at home or away. Even more to the point - its worse for every fan - you'll ruin a great game for what ? The path you suggest is a dead end for everybody. Hell, I don't even like the nets around past the dugouts. Read the back of the damn ticket and follow the first rule anybody who played the game learned or as a little kid the first time you even watched a game --- KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL [/QUOTE]
